Has anybody undertaken the moral question "can we practice/sharpen our weapons on characters long since gone?" I have a few on some ships that I own, they have been around for over two or three years. Is there going to be a moral outcry with removing them from the game (out of game context), or to be more "in game"-pulling the plug on the comatose? Of course, this won't rear its ugly head until full ground combat is implemented.

"3.2.2/ What happens to your body?
The body will decompose and disappear after 3 weeks."

Does this happen any longer?

"6/ Drop Character
A character has the option to turn his character into an NPC and recreate as a new character at any point they wish. The NPC will have the same handle and race as the character had and any assets will follow the same rules as when a character is killed."
